What are Roles in OSU Drupal?

There are different types of Drupal users. Some just need to be able to quickly change text, embed video, or update images. Other users may work in more of a developer aspect and have the responsibility of designing the structure of the site. Still others may just be concerned with user management.

These different groups of users have been categorized into roles in the OSU Drupal installation. Different roles usually have different sets of tools available to them on a Drupal site. Central Web Services provides free training for this entire range of users, for all members of the OSU Community: staff, faculty, and students. Following are the default roles that each OSU Drupal 6 site has upon initial installation, what each role can do within a site, and the recommended training path for each.
